This is what kind of person Dabo Swinney is...

I recently learn of the following information and I thought it was worth sharing. Through my profession I am tightly knit to the medical community and know the following information to be 100% accurate.

A long time Clemson fan I will not name was recently in hospice care in the Anderson County area and was in his last days of life. His son, also a devoted Clemson supporter, contacted Don Munson and told him nothing would make his father happier than to shake Dabo’s hand to thank him for what he was doing for Clemson football. Not only did Dabo and Munson visit the dying man and deliver a signed football, they brought several players who spent time with the man, shared stories of the ACC championship season, prayed with him, and imparted an immense sense of joy to this man in his final days on this earth.

Since this meeting, Dabo and select Clemson players have visited other terminally ill Clemson fans, old and young, delivering numerous gifts and providing a bright spark to an otherwise grim period of life. It is one thing to stroke off checks to charities at luncheons and kiss babies, but it is a completely different ballgame to face a dying person and their family with the purpose of delivering joy.

If this doesn’t speak to the character and strength of our head coach, I don’t know what does. Wins and losses are important, but this man cares about the Clemson community and is giving back. He can stay for another 10 years as far as I’m concerned after learning of this and similar stories.
